Science for the People

Our mod­ern lives run on plas­tic. It’s in the com­put­ers and phones we use. It’s in our cloth­ing, it wraps our food. It sur­rounds us every day, and when we throw it out, it’s dev­as­tat­ing for the envi­ron­ment. This week we air a live show we record­ed at the 2019 Advance­ment of Sci­ence meet­ing in Wash­ing­ton, D.C., where Bethany Brook­shire sat down with three plas­tics researchers — Christi­na Simkanin, Chelsea Rochman, and Jen­nifer Provencher — and a live audi­ence to dis­cuss plas­tics in our oceans. Where they are, where they are going, and what they car­ry with them.
